Lunenburg man charged with larceny, check forgery

FITCHBURG -- A Lunenburg man was arrested Wednesday after trying to cash a forged check he allegedly stole from his 81-year-old grandmother, according to court documents.

Tyler J. Fors, 21, of 287 Highland St., Lunenburg, is charged with forgery of a check, uttering a false check and larceny under $250.

According to a police report included with court documents, Fors went to Rollstone Bank & Trust's John Fitch Highway location and allegedly tried to cash a fraudulent check for $250. The teller, suspicious of the signature, compared it to several others on file under the same name and alerted her branch manager. They contacted the check owner and she told them she did not authorize any checks to Fors, the report states.

When Fors was apprehended by police in the bank's drive-through lane, they found him to be in possession of another $300 in his grandparents' names, according to the report.

Fors was released on personal recognizance and is due back in court March 14.
